The argument is: "For law to be law it needs to be at least in principle knowable by the people to whom it applies." My point is that even if the law applied specifically to the NSA/DOJ/FISC, it still applies to each individual, because the laws in question specifically govern how that NSA/DOJ interacts with individuals. No one here is saying that the NSA is acting outside the law. That's the travesty of the thing. They are not. They are doing what congress allowed them to do. But the fact is, congress intentionally setup a system which has, in essence, unbridled power. When you tell a group of enforcers "the law means what you think it means", this is what the inevitable result will be.
